Amaj7                  B7
To eat bananas in the sunshine

It's feast or famine, it's a fine line
Amaj7               B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you

My monkey's not the only one who's acting like a jerk

B7
And while he doesn't like to name names
Amaj7                  B7
And he's not trying to assign blame
Amaj7                     B7
It's hard to focus on his own game
Amaj7               B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you

My monkey gets lucky sometimes

My monkey thinks that you're the bestest girl he's ever seen

B7
He says he'll stay with you for always
Amaj7                       B7
It doesn't matter what the job pays
Amaj7                      B7
Cause everybody has their bad days
Amaj7               B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you
